We Appreciate You
“We are grateful for this longstanding partnership with Kitayama Brothers Farms,” Friends Executive Director Bonny Hawley said. “Bringing back a modified Gerbera Festival is a wonderful way to celebrate local state parks and beaches safely while supporting efforts to vaccinate farmworkers who do so much for our community.”

All proceeds from the Gerbera Festival benefit Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks and the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau Agricultural Worker Vaccine Program, which has made it possible for employees at Kitayama Brothers and many other farms to get vaccinated early and easily. As a result, a very high percentage of farm employees in Santa Cruz County are now vaccinated.

“We love our local state parks and just to the west of us is Sunset State Beach, which is a beautiful stretch of sand that Friends helps to care for,” said Stuart Kitayama, operations manager at Kitayama Brothers Farms and a Friends board member. “We have chosen to also include the vaccine program because the Farm Bureau did such an amazing job organizing and getting Santa Cruz County agricultural workers vaccinated, for which we are very thankful.”
